Park Tool Mini Pump Blue Review

After trying this mini pump, Im pleased with how easy it was to use and how quickly it inflated my tires.The compact design makes it simple to store in my cycling bag and take on the go. My only suggestion would be to add a pressure gauge to ensure accurate inflation..

As someone who loves Sports and Outdoors, I was really disappointed with this product. Through trial and error I found that it was not able to pump up my bike tire to the desired pressure. The pros of the pump are its compact size and easy STORAGE but, unfortunately, that's where it ends .The cons are that the pump simply didn't work as advertised, which is a shame given the brand's reputation in the cycling world. Overall, I would not recommend this product..

The pump works because it only takes one movement to fill the hose. The head design doesn't work particularly well, I've found that with Schrader valves, the pin in the head feels too short, causing it not to engage the valve stem properly. Especially with non-locknut tubes, it usually takes me a few tries to get this right because the insertion force on the head causes the valve stem to disappear into the rim.
